FillSolidRect does not print on ink jet printers!

[behzad]

Hi,
I hit a strange point about FillSolidREct and InkJet printers. FillSolidREct
does not print on this printers (at least HP 1220C), but FillRect prints ok.
Does anybody know why there is this problem ?

thanks,
Behzad

// this is a small sample that shows it:

CBrush B1,*B0;
B1.CreateSolidBrush(0x0ff8080);
B0=pDC->SelectObject(&B1);

CPoint O1(8000,-5000);
CRect R(O1.x,O1.y,O1.x+4000,O1.y-1000);
pDC->FillSolidRect(R,0x0ff8080); // this does not appear on ink jet
printer

R1+=CSize(4000,-4000);
pDC->FillRect(R,&B1); // this appears

pDC->SelectObject(B0);
B1.DeleteObject();

You need to test on other printers - a quick rule of thumb for these
sorts of problems - always suspect the driver! ;)

If the problem only manifests itself on your printer (and ones that
use the same basic driver) check your printer manufacturer's web site
to see if you've got the latest driver.
